In reducing the invention to practice, certain minor features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts may necessitate alterations to which the patentee is entitled provided such alterations are comprehended within the scope of what is claimed.

What is claimed is:'-

1. In a garment fastener, the combination of a receiving member including a disk having a centrally disposed slot, a strand of wire having its ends attached to said disk the intermediate portion of said strand of wire being bulged outwardly through said slot for forming a hook receiving eye, and

an inserting structure including a disk, a strand of .wire attached'to said disk and bent to form an attaching body, and an inserting hook end for insertion through said hook receiving eye, and radiating prongs formed integrally upon said disks for at taching the disks to the fabric.

2. In a garment fastener structure, the combination, of a receiving member comrising a disk, having a centrally disposed. slot formed therein, a strand of Wire attached to said disk, the intermediate portion of said strand .of wire being bulged through said slot, for forming a hook receiving eye,-.

wire being bulged outwardly and extending through said slot for coaction with said hook inserting end for preventing accidental disconnection between the hook and eye.

3. In a garment fastener structure, an inserting member comprising a disk having a centrally disposed slot, a strand of wire bent to form an attaching body portion which is composed of a pair of s aced sections of wire, and an inserting iiook portion, the ends of said 'attachiiw portions being connected, a single strand of wire extending between said spaced attachin portions and connected to the ends of the attaching portions, said single strand of wire being bulged intermediate its ends, the bulged portions extending through said slot for coaction with the inserting hooked end,

for preventing accidental disconnection be tween the hooked end and a receiving me1nber.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
